Intermittent fasting for weight loss may sound about as exciting as drinking bleach to you, at least, that’s how it came across to me, but once you learn what it really is, and some simple principles of intermittent fasting, you may find the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences. And the science is really backing it up.

“Fasting alone is more powerful in preventing and reversing some diseases than drugs,” said Satchidananda Panda, an associate professor of regulatory biology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, CA More
